I have a stone fireplace. What is the best product and method of cleaning
soot off the front face of the fireplace? This is a natural stone
fireplace. I don't want to change the natural color of the stone, just
remove the soot !!


Thanks for any ideas.......



I had really good results cleaning my brick fireplace with dishwashing
liquid mixed with salt. mix it up to a creamy consistency, scrub it in
with a brush let sit a few minutes, scrub again. wash off. 50 years of
grime vanished. (you might want to test a small area first)
